Gloucester County Emergency Management and Gloucester County Economic Development are partnering with local organizations to take care of one another and keep aware of funding opportunities as they become available to help combat the financial impacts of COVID-19. Businesses and nonprofits are struggling and Virginia State resources could become spread thin, so it’s important to look at what we can do as a community for one another.Help is needed distributing meals, health information and gathering nonperishable food donations. If your organization would like to assist in any way, please let us know by contacting Jane Wenner at 804-693-1390 or jwenner@gloucesterva.info . Also, let us know what services you can provide and what needs that you have. And, as a general reminder, please continue to document all of your losses and volunteer hours.

Local business is the backbone of Gloucester’s economy. With the COVID-19 pandemic on the minds of citizens across the globe, small businesses everywhere are being impacted. Locally, many small businesses are finding innovative ways of staying afloat during uncertain times. As consumers, many of us can help support our small businesses from the comforts of our homes, offices, cars, or other means while maintaining social distance.
